Rajpal Yadav reacts to Nawazuddin’s praise
Watch how Rajpal Yadav reacted to Nawazuddin Siddiqui praising him for helping fellow actors during their struggling days in Mumbai.
Sachin Tendulkar had famously tipped Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be the ones to take the batting mantle for India from him post retirement. Both of them and especially Kohli, with his stunning run of form across formats, has made Tendulkar's prophecy come true.
Kohli's average is touching 60 in one-day cricket, it is close to 55 in Test cricket and just below 50 in international T20s. Kohli threatens to get past many of Tendulkar's records that appeared non-surmountable at one point of time. Tendulkar, however, was not keen on comparisons and felt different generations cannot be compared.
"Even when I played, I thought there should not be any comparisons. Generations should be judged differently, the game changes. The game of 70's, 80's, 90's was all different. The numbers and figures will continue to change. 220 used to be a safe total, today 320 is not a safe total. The conditions change, the pitches, rules, quality of play all change. There are lot of factors," Tendulkar told India Today.
"But his hunger for runs is so good, I hope it continues. The way he is scoring, the way I have seen him develop, it's a joy to watch him," Tendulkar added.

Yogi Adityanath on Saturday presented a saffron gamcha to Suvendu Adhikari, shortly after the latter took oath as the first BJP Chief Minister of West Bengal. The crowd also erupted into a loud cheer as the scene unfolded at the swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. This was at least the second such instance in recent weeks when the duo's bonhomie was witnessed publicly. Earlier, during the election campaign in the state, a powerful scene was witnessed when Adhikari bowed down at the feet of the UP Chief Minister as a mark of respect.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
The political landscape of West Bengal witnesses a major transition as the newly appointed Chief Minister takes the oath of office and secrecy.
